Dear June
My 90-year-old sister recently gave me $200 for picking her up for church. I didn’t want to take it, but rather than make a scene (there were a couple of others in the car), I reluctantly took it. My first thought was to mail it back to her, but she’s easily offended. I don’t want the money. What should I do?

Dear Sister Not in Need,
I think you did the right thing to take the money and not make a scene. And I think you are right not to send it back and risk offending your sister….
